The Everything's Shiny Cap'n of Not to Fret is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by River Tam with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, public floggings, and suspicion of poets. The democratic, devout population of 7.209 billion Not to Fretians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Spirituality, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Miranda. The average income tax rate is 34.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Not to Fretian economy, worth 359 trillion precious metals a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Tourism. Average income is 49,861 precious metals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

You need a signed affidavit from a registered psychiatrist to claim that you have crazy low prices, the Man in the Plastic Mask has been imprisoned in the Capital Penitentiary, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, and the tightness of border controls in Not to Fret leave a little to be desired. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Not to Fret's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Buddhism.

Not to Fret is ranked 68,718^th in the world and 429^th in Europeia for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,627.43 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
